Hi,
We have a "rough around the edges" 2002 A2, good runner despite the numerous electrical glitches that appear from time to time which I am led to believe are down to a malfunctioning CCCU unit. However, good runner nevertheless for my missus who now does approx 100 miles per week. (she has gotten used to the climate control, electric windows, central locking etc going on and off when they please)
A few days ago it refused to start at her work, after a bit of head scratching she was bump started and on her way. I took it to work for the next few days and again after a while it failed to start until a bump start got it going. Clicking from the engine bay whilst trying to start ... I would assume a new starter motor is required?
However, since then we have had the glow plug light flashing while driving which from research on here may suggest a new brake sensor is needed ... and now we have the yellow ABS light and the red brake warning light appear whilst driving but only the once and hasn't appeared since.
Is all this related to the brake sensor or starter motor or is it a sign of something more serious?
Many thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
